The other night I came across a link to this article from the Opinion Page of the New York Times. In the article, Dave Eggers compares the way policies address the educational system and the way in which we address the military, with the teachers being equated to the soldiers on the front line. He writes that if a military operation is not going as efficiently as hoped, that the soldiers are never blamed,…

Hi Everyone,
I am from Surrey, UK (just south of London) and I am trying to connect volunteers interested in supporting tutor / mentoring programs over here. I have started to meet with people from university, community learning, business colleagues and they often would like to know more.
I first came across Tutor / Mentor Connection on PLENK2010 and found this great tool…

This is a graphic that I include in many articles I write, illustrating the role individuals can take in reaching out to people they know to draw them to information we share on our web sites and to tutor/mentor program locations where they can be volunteers, leaders, donors, etc. I am speaking to a group of students from Governors State University tonight…

Just as light bulbs require electricity to shine, the “new economy” requires theenergy of information and communications technologies (ICT) to illuminate local development. Around the world, billions of dollars have been spent oninfrastructure to give communities access to ICT. One of the non-profit organisations that put emphasis on connecting people with technology for social development is Digital Opportunity Trust(DOT) (http://www.dotrust.org). DOT is…
ContinueIn my Tutor/Mentor Blog I use graphics like the one below to illustrate our goal of helping inner city youth grow up over a period of 10 to 20 years. We all start at birth and it takes 20 years to get through the first formal stages of education and into the college, vocational or job stage of our lives. Yet, if you live in high poverty areas, you face more challenges.
Thus, tutor/mentor programs, if they…

I finally feel as though I pretty solid grasp on what this program can do for people, and I had a revelation on how to graphically represent it. Whenever I think about the Cabrini Connections or even the Tutormentor Connection organization, I find myself thinking of a Jenga block tower, in which some children have many pieces missing due to lacking in educational…

This is a post a long time in coming, but due to illness and other academic related stresses, I have not been able to make mention of the fund-raising team that I am on. My team is comprised of both staff and volunteers, and it is a part of the Cabrini Madness fund-raising event. It's one of many fun ways that the staff and volunteers here…

The New York Times: "When voters go the polls Tuesday to pick Chicago's first new mayor since the 1980s, they can reflect on a lively campaign that featured topics ranging from education and crime to whether one of the mayoral hopefuls had smoked crack.
"But one issue dwarfs all the others: like most local and state governments, City Hall is facing a gaping…

Bradely halped me to record voice three days ago. I edit the voice by mp3 software and fix the volume and tune.
In addition, I have modified flash time line to mach with voice. The process needs a delicate work.
So I spent much time to complete this work. Finally, I made it.

This morning in my Community Psychology class, one thing occurred to me: if I am to make a presentation regarding university involvement to actual universities, I will need to present it in an academic manner for it to be taken seriously. The presentation would be much more effective if empirically supported, and if I could utilize the empirical data in a concise, powerful, yet user-friendly manner, the material would reach far more viewers. After spending two hours in the Adler School…

Hi~ Long time no see. I have not posted any projects these days. Because, I have studied about flash deeply.
I learned an interesting skill which is dissolve function. So I made a Cabrini Connection Photo Album by dissolve function.
